I disagree. Jet Chamber is more trancey. The idea behind SECOND
NATURE is as it's title suggests, a 'Second Nature' - a synthetic/
electronic version of one of those nature tapes you can buy in health food
stores. For example, here are some of the song titles: "Synthetic
Forest" and "Artificial Seaside". A lot of my friends hate it because of
this. I really dig it personally... the sounds of crickets, birds, the
ocean - all artificially created. With no MSG.
The thing that differentiates it from the put-you-to-sleep genre of
the 'new age' idea is (of course) the Uwe Schmidt (AH) and Tetsu Inoue
influence - heavy industro beats rolling in and out of an ambient
landscape, which ends up bringing it all together. Hell, the clicks and
rumbling bass makes it all worth-while. It kind of reminds me of "Mu" by
MPA, but more up-beat and less experimental. Oh, and there are only four
tracks, ranging from 6+ to 16+ to 28+ minutes.

Hm. There are of course better outings, but I dig them all the same.
